Operating Principles
How AIAC stays accountable to the public it serves.
Independence is not a slogan — it is a documented operating model. The Trust Center exists so any counterparty, regulator or accredited entity can audit the basis of our decisions.
Public Disclosure
All frameworks governing AIAC decisions are published and version-controlled.
Independent Review
Accreditation decisions are reviewable by a panel structurally separate from the assessment team.
Reproducible Methodology
Risk and compliance scores follow documented rubrics — not subjective discretion.
Stakeholder Consultation
Material changes to standards are issued for public comment before adoption.
